The writer of the MS. submitted it to the world as “a thank-offering to the goodness that has delivered me, anda waruing voice, raised up in season against the erring powers, which, 1 i experience teaches, are soon to lead the world astray with lying wonders.” Hie described bimselfas one John Trust, an erudite Englishman of leisure, who, during a voyage roand the world, had met at Calcutta “a Dr. Wroe, who had a reputation {for familiarity with the occult sciences—and it was believed in the capitsl that he had, by some ingenuity, become possessed of the secrets by which the Indian priests of Hindostan contrived to acquire and perpetuate an unlimited influ- ence over nations otherwise considerably ele- vated in the scale of heathen civilization.” Wroe had afterwards to clear out of India, and In 1815 the Englishman met him in Paris, There, he says: “We renewed our intimacy, and he promised to ini- fate me into the Brahminical art he lad Page een and in which he had wore than onceshowed me bis power, 5 causitia a walter, who came foF OUF glass, £0 drop Into a chalr into « ‘stupor; attracting to him a pigeou which was flying past,and some like feats. “Ite hat Rreat {€iuh inthe art, und more than once expresed To me the bellet that @ renovation of the whole pins st caland moral world might be effected by it.

They went to the Isle of Mariinique together, ana there, by the “astral” power (I know no better name for it), Wroe carried off a lady and brought her to alittle town near Washington, where she died, and where her tomb still mains.

Trust, however, became nearly crazed, fear- ing Wroe would usé “Astral” influence with his sister. He shot at him from a copse of trees near the Long bridge in July, 1821, but killed, by mischance, a peddler who was passing along the road towards Washington. It turned out, quite like romance, that Wroe and Trust were brothers, and Wroe's estimate of the value of the Brahininical urt, whieh he po was shown by a letter he addressed to Trust "while the latter was hiding to escape the penalty of his crime. his_note will be the punishment of your crime, for it will tell you that you have lost the chanee of winning, with your brother, the proud- est_ triumphs man bas e ‘hieved.

SAMUDU AND HIS MOVEMENTS. ‘To the Eaitor of ‘Tm EveNine Stan: Much attention has been given on the west coast of Africa and in Europe and the United States to the operations of the people con- trolled by Alimami Samudy, alias Iblalima Sanakodu, who, during the lust seven years, has conquered the country from the Upper Niger to the maritime districts, near Slerra Leone and Liberia. ‘Alimami Samuda 1s represented to be the son of Saimfia Tene, who is still alive, and was born in Sanakoele, capital of the Koniah dls trict of West Alrica, situated In a tract of coun- try, ying between lat. 9 and 11 n. and long. 6 and 7 w. directly east ot Monrovia. He js a Mandingo, about 40 years of age, and his fam- iy is superior to most of the families on his land. Samzdu visited Sierra Leone as a trader som years ago, and has not received much edue: Uon; but betag of a studious and inquiring na- ture, he became a pupil of learned priests of the Mohammedan religion in his native place, And, afterwards, in Kankan, Bute district. In- creasing In’ the knowledge of Arabic, and af the Koran, Samudu became a zealous son of the prophet, and gathered around him many ad- mirers. Tbinking it desirable to evince his be- lief he called upon the Pagans in his own coun- try and among the surrounding tribes to re- nounce their waysand adopthis religion. They refused; and from that time he began to enforce his views at the point of the sword. Samudu’s tirst rupture and battle was with his sovereign, Ibrabin issi; whom he twok prisoner, but refused to put to death, Sissi re- mains in durance vile, and Samudu Is virtually in his stead. In 1878 he attacked one town after another in the region west of his country, called Trong, annexing the whole, He next a still more tothe northward, subduing Kolondaa, a portion of Manding and 'Humarra, and annexing also a lurge portivn of Saukuran and Baleya. Medina, Barubara, and Wasalu were then added to his conquered lands. After along siege and muny encounters with varied success, Sainudu completely routed Aval, chief Of the Hootaos, put him to death, and aunexed his country. ‘Soliman, a district at hand, now attracted “him, Its” capital, the _power- fal city of Falabab, was ' burned and its fate sealed. Mauding gave in its adherence, and Bourl, a small but rich province to the east, possessing gold, followed in sub- sion. Attention was now turned to the ad- jucent country, and Bailo and Gadamayo, parts ‘of Fontah ferritory, Wines, Firiyah audSembe, the nortuero portion of ' Kourauke, passed Under his yoke. ‘The Simlaks were next re- duced. Samudu is now keeping the roads open from Falabah via Samuyuh vo Kamovia on the Searcles river, and Fort Lokole, and knitting the tribes togetuer under Che banner of Isiam, with the deciared purpose of briuging the t terior into uninterrupted communication with the civilization of Europe. ‘Messengers and their attendants, about one hundred fa number, from the urmy of Sumu- du, lately spent a month at Selrra Leone, re- turning to Sumaya.

It is against him and his aie ge efforts that the wicked machinations of the ‘conspirators are directed, and it Is through the indignant public sentiment whiek lus gealus and virtues tyoke that the plotting incompetents at Washington are brought to de- served downfall and shame.

The fate of ali the others is left to cun- jecture. These are the main characters and incidents of the book. Even it they were well handled, whieh they are not, they are hardly suifitient to make a clever work of fle ion. The story is preceded by @ trans- Inwd and condensed prologue, which tells in a vivid manner tho almost ineredible ferocity of the island government in the murder and imprisonment of a number of young native students, and this bloody edy is the key-note of all that follows. There 4s, of course, the usual amount of love-mating, with the requisite display ot conflicting emo- Hons palied for by the embarrassing dilemma ad ich the heroine finds herself, with two not-bioo i 4 lovers on ber hands, and there are ber of interesting glimpses of Cabau i life and some clever descriptive writing. whole, however, the story is crade and Weak, and it is marred throughout by melodra- matic passages and exhivitfons of pedantry that would not have been expected trom @ writer of General Badeau’s experience; and it is not likely to be regarded ¥ quarter as above a fourti-rate novel. ay sately be assumed, indecd, that {t never would have been written but ‘for the uuthor's quarrel with the Washington authorities, and a possible de- sire to advertise the merits of his favorite brand of champagne wine, wich he has the bad taste 1 do in one of the chapters, vwitu all that is By Isaac WALKER. Mr. Walker undertakes, in a formal and seri- ‘ous manner, to formulate a philosophy of dress for gentiemen, and, at the same time, to ele- vate his profession to the dignity of one of the fine arta, Thesculptor, he tells us, “masses the requisite quantity of clay, and with his hands ‘nfons it into rough proportions, and then, with callpers, dividers and other instrament he works to ‘the exactness of outline requii by the sketch from which he copies. It is the eye and the yard stick, after all; and {tis no more, no less, with the tailor,” Not only this; but“a farther fact Is, that acutter ofexeeption: gifts and standing can earn more money, at Wage, than the average sculptor, all over the work It is hardiy necessary to add afier this amusing logic that the author belongs to the large and constantly increasing family of “artist tailors,” and that, being an artist tallor of the period, he naturally holds to the opinion that the gentlemen's styles of to-day are based on a@ nicely-adjusted combinatien of esthetic Prscipies and every-day requirements, and therefore bound to éudure. It 1s bis dictuen, furthermore, that a gentleman should have, for duily use, asuck coat, a four-button cutaway, 8 frock, abd a dress coat,—the special service ot each of which will naturally suggest Itself—and the sum of $500 a year he names as an econom- ical estimate for the dress of a man of fashion, who is not wasteful or extravagant, From all of which it will be perceived that, Mr. Walker writes for the few rather than the many, It may be that to those whom he addresses his views will have some interest, aud possibly a certain value; bat neither his ‘conclasions nor his methods of arriving at them will have any weight with that larger class in whose e “worth makes theman,” and who havea higher and more reliable standard of character than the extent to which a man’s trowsers may bag at the knees. ON BOTH SIDES. A Novel By NCES COURT. NEY Baytos. Phila delj : J. EXT within! Beenie Rocha SPP The very entertaining story which originally appeared in Lippincott’s Magazine in two parts, entitled, respectively, “The Perfect Treasure” and “On This Side,” now appears in a hand- some volume of neatly five hundred pages, re- christened as above. It made a decided hit when printed asaserlal, and itis likely to at- tract wider attention and prove even more pular in its present more convenient form. The first part tells in @ very graphic manner the experiences of @ wealthy. Amer- {can fumily, who, after an extended tour on the continent, conclude to spend a winter at a delightful English watering place; the second is a no less amusing account of the return visit id by some of their English acquaintances to the American home in Michigan, The op- portunity atforded is used _by the clever author to take off in an unusually brightand witty way the peculiarities of the people of both countries. ‘The author shows herself to be a close student of character and manners, and she manages to hold the scales very evenly in iMlustrating the diflerences of social ideas and usages, though some of the American examples she intro duces are rather exaggerated types. A slender thread of plot holds the chapters pleasantly. together, and the proper proportions of love-making, maneuvering and marrying are naturally introduced, but the chief charm of the story lies in the’ free charncter-sketching and good-humored satire with which it abounds, FARTHEST NORTH: or, the Life and Ex Se TOOT Tae Sit and neptoraane Greely Arctic Expedition, By CHARLES Laxman. meg hid pe D.
